Deeply informative and gave a sense of the complex history of the Alhambra. - Our tour with Jana was excellent. She was interesting, full of knowledge and stories that made our visit come alive. She was flexible with meeting times and very welcoming when we met. Jana conveyed her passion for the Alhambra and the private tour enabled us to mine her deep knowledge with our many questions.

Great tour of the Alhambra - Our guide Abubakr was extremely knowledgeable about everything in and around the Alhambra. He made the experience significantly better than had we just gone ourselves without a guide. He answered all of our questions and pointed out everything in amazing detail.

Amazing experience! - Seeing the Alhambra and its gardens. I especially liked the water gardens and the rills. The sound of the water was very peaceful. Very informative and knowledgeable guide. Helpful with the baby. The Alhambra provided a baby carrier which was incredibly helpful.

Best guide ever! Like a class in art, history and linguistics while seeing the Alhambra! - Ravie was the best guide ever! Speaking both Arabic and multiple other languages, having studied art, and also having studied history really gives him an edge over others. He was able to translate the inscriptions inside the palace, tell us so many contextual stories from the history and provide a unique perspective. We are going to take a tour with him again when we return. Ravie was the best guide ever!

Great Service and Knowledge of the Guide! - it was good tour as we booked last minute, they were able to organize Alhambra tickets although pricing was a rip-off but that you pay for booking last minute I assume. Guide was really good and knowledgeable and very helpful.

Last minute miracle tour - We arrived in Grenada just to realize that we should have made reservation in advance to visit Alhambra. I traveled with my daughter and her husband to Granada just to tour Alahmbra! What to do? I can’t disappoint my daughter. So, I started the search for a last minute solution and this company came through for us. 2 ticket were obtained and the tour was on. The tour guide, Aboubakr, met my daughter and her husband at la Mimbre restaurant and was very courteous and immediately made us feel great. During the tour, he was very knowledgeable and accommodating and shared many historical stories. My daughter and her husband were extremely pleased and still raving about this tour and Aboubakr. We highly recommend this tour, but please plan ahead.

Alhambra Tour May 22, 2924 - We hired a private guide for a skip-the-line Alhambra tour. His name is Dinko Duancic. He was fantastic—charming and well-informed, with perfect English. It was well worth the cost.

Private Tour with Alex - Alex, our charming tour guide had a difficult task: he had to entertain a group with kids, parents, and grandparents - and did a wonderful job. He fed the culture loving adults with loads of information about the architecture, history and art of the Alhambra and entertained the kids with little games. So the tour was great for everyone!

More than 700 dollars for non-English speaking guide - Although the tour guide seemed knowledgeable and enthusiastic, I regret to say that his English was not enough to give a private tour entirely in English. I'm sure he is an excellent guide, but the tour company should not have required him to give a tour for English speakers. I couldn't even get basic answers to my questions, and it just turned into my taking photos of the Alhambra. For more than 700 dollars, it was totally unacceptable.
